⚠️🇺🇸 Rúben Amorim: “Christian Pulisic is not happy because he didn’t play so far. But I like him a lot as a player, remember he was injured this summer”.
“I will never pick my starting XI based on big names. These are my principles and won’t change. But I like Pulisic a lot, tomorrow he will get minutes”.
Every single member of the United attack has scored or assisted a goal except the Barcelona reject who is apparently United's best attacker this season because he passed a few times to Shaw & crashed some aimless crosses in. We continue to observe.
The reason some people didn’t want Rashford back is because of things like this. Individual player issues and commentary (player power) start to rear their ugly heads.
The “secret” to United’s modest success last term was that they flew under the radar. Players who dominated the off field news had been shipped out.
Everyone started putting in their shifts. Cunha, Mbeumo, Sesko, Dorgu… even Dalot stepped up in quite a few games. And of course, our captain Bruno. They all got stuck in. If a player was dropped or substituted, it wasn’t a big story. No drama. No endless debates. Just football.
Rashford coming back risks bringing back the bad old days of player power. The best thing would have been for Carrick not to let him back in.
Because very soon, the fan base will be divided again, every decision involving Rashford will become a talking point, and Carrick may not be able to handle it. We’ve seen this movie before.
See you next season.

This is why we rate him alot more than anyone
Those fouls won he is the best at it
Our penalty this season was through him
For me apart from Amad that is crazy in the head😂😂 Cunha is the second best attacker for me
🚨Some of Carrick’s substitutions today were questionable, and for me, taking Matheus Cunha off when we where winning 0-1 was the wrong decision.
We saw against the SAME Everton last season just how good Cunha is at managing those final stages of a game. Winning fouls, holding onto the ball, wasting time when needed, frustrating opponents — he’s MADE for those situations.
Personally, I would’ve brought Sesko on for Rashford and moved Cunha out to the left. Keep Cunha on the pitch, give us a focal point up front and use his ability to carry the ball forward and take the pressure off the defence.
I’m sure Carrick will look back at this one and learn from it too. He’s going to make mistakes like every manager does, and that’s completely normal. #MUFC

I didn’t say he hasn’t helped but Barca showed us that our best player that we hype alot isn’t good enough to start for them
